Overview
- The Knicks completed a 4-0 sweep with a 144-114 road win Sunday in Philadelphia, securing a second straight East finals berth and extending a postseason run with a 19.4-point average margin through two rounds.
- New York tied NBA playoff marks by hitting 18 three-pointers in the first half and 25 for the game after opening with 11 makes in a 43-24 first quarter.
- Miles McBride, starting for the injured OG Anunoby, led with 25 points on seven threes, while Jalen Brunson added 22 with six threes and Karl-Anthony Towns logged 17 points and 10 assists.
- Anunoby missed Games 3 and 4 with a right hamstring strain and remains day-to-day as the Knicks await the Pistons or Cavaliers with at least a week to rest and prepare.
- Knicks fans packed Philadelphia’s arena, waving brooms and outshouting home supporters in a striking road takeover during the lopsided closeout.
